Chasing The Amish Dream: My Life as a Young Amish Bachelorby Loren Beachypaperback, $12.95
Book 1 Life in author Loren Beachy's Amish community brims with old-fashioned box socials, smart-alecky students, and pranks involving pink duct tape and black pepper. Meet the young women who manage to be late for church twice in one day and the man who plans to fight drowsiness by jogging beside his horse and buggy. Cheer for Beachy and his cousins in cut-throat baseball games, and join community members as they surround and support a family in their loss. With the witty warmth of small-town storytellers like Garrison Keillor and Jan Karon, Beachy invites readers into his life as a creative, wise, and wisecracking Old Order Amish schoolteacher and auctioneer.

Hear straight from Amish people themselves as they write about their daily lives and deeply rooted faith in the Plainspoken series. Each Plainspoken book includes "A Day in the Life of the Author" and the author's answers to FAQs about the Amish.

Follow a young orphaned girl's journal as she adjusts to living with her grandparents in the Conestoga Valley in Pennsylvania. She joins in the happy family times of work and play on the farm and rejoices at being part of a big family and everything that comes with it. There are stories of old to listen to after the work is done and record in her journal as she sits by the mill bridge.

Life is a gift from God, so why not celebrate? The bestselling authors of Mennonite Girls Can Cook return with a second course in their new Celebrations cookbook. From mouthwatering mini-muffins and succulent souffle to campers' stew and lattice-topped grilled apples, the Mennonite Girls share recipes to honor all of life. Join the girls for brunch celebrating a child's birth, campfire cooking with family, and even the more somber celebrations of a life well-lived. Filled from cover to cover with devotional reflections, personal stories, and beautiful photos, this book contains much more than recipes--it will soon become your kitchen companion for life's celebrations.

Like their first book, Mennonite Girls Can Cook: Celebrations includes many gluten free adaptations!

Three years ago, Lovella Schllenberg started a blog to record her thoughts, memories, and recipes from her Mennonite heritage. The response was positive--particularly to the recipes. So she started a blog dedicated to just that and invited other to join her. Nine women joined her, and Mennonite Girls Can Cook was born. This book, like the blog, features recipes based on the authors' Mennonite heritage, along with their personal stories and devotionals called Bread for the Journey. Proceeds from the sale of the book will go to a food-related charity.
